Midget racing started before WWII and became incredibly popular, with multiple races run across the country every weekend year-round.

The builder of this midget racer is not known, which is often the case, as this form of car was being built by dozens of manufacturers during this period, and many more came from the garages of skilled enthusiasts. Presented in a fascinating condition, it carries mechanical components ubiquitous of the time, including a Ford V8-60 engine, Offenhauser cylinder heads, and Stromberg carburetors on an Eddie Meyer intake manifold.

The next lucky owner of this Midget Racer will have the pleasure of researching its history, or simply enjoying it as a token from this bygone era.
